This salad in a jar is an easy recipe for meal prep that stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Add your favorite dressing and enjoy! Jar salads are the perfect portable lunch. Healthy and delicious!

Not only are jar salads really cute, but they stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to five to six days. I do not put dressing on the bottom of mine, so they last longer and stay crisp. If you are serving them right away, it’s fine to add dressing to the bottom of the jar before you start layering your salad ingredients. You can make these however you like, but the ingredients here will keep nicely and you’ll have lunch for the whole week. Saving time rocks! Oh, and serving things in cute jars is great, too.
